Chapter 999 J-11C fighter jet sea takeoff and landing test
Capital will always flow to safer places!
It was precisely because of the First and Second World Wars that the United States made a fortune, changing from Europe and America to the United States and Europe, becoming the world's first capitalist power and one of the world's two superpowers!
This time, the Americans are stirring up the Balkan Peninsula, which will inevitably have a great impact on the newly born euro.
Liu Tao is naturally happy to take a ride and make some extra money!
Speaking of which, European integration is actually very beneficial to the development of multipolarization in the world. Liu Tao is actually very happy to see that Europe has more autonomy, rather than wearing the same pants as the Americans, which will inevitably weaken the hegemony of the Americans.
Even when the US military is forced to leave Europe, NATO is gone, and replaced by the European coalition, then Europe will truly become a pole in the world.
The benefits here are self-evident!
But this time the Americans hit the newly born euro, and Europe has no way out.
In this case, if you have money, you are a bastard!
The money earned can be used for the construction of China, and it can force Europe to return a batch of cultural relics again.
Liu Tao went to the Beibu Gulf.
In the Beibu Gulf, a large merchant ship is drifting on the sea, but this large merchant ship is very special. Its deck has been transformed into an aircraft carrier deck.
This is China's "Test No. 2" aircraft carrier, which is specially simulated as the "Type 002" medium aircraft carrier deck for carrier-based aircraft testing and carrier-based aircraft pilot training.
This time, it is the first takeoff test of a carrier-based aircraft.
On this deck, a set of steam catapults are installed, and there is also an arresting cable system on the deck.
A J-11C fighter is parked on the deck, and the staff is preparing for takeoff.
The J-11C fighter is a model of the J-11 carrier-based aircraft. The internal number is the J-11C fighter, and the external number is the J-12 carrier-based aircraft.
China has actually developed many fighters, but many fighters were stopped during the development process. Some were developed, but they were found to be unsuitable for the troops, so they were not included in the equipment and stopped development. There are only one or two prototypes or only a few aircraft are produced.
The J-12 model actually has aircraft, and a total of three prototypes have been produced, but the outside world does not know it.
The J-11C fighter jet borrowed the shell of the J-12.
This can also be used to throw smoke bombs to the outside world.
There are J-12s, J-13s, J-14s, etc. Who knows how many third-generation fighter jets China has?
This kind of unpredictability is the most terrifying.
The obvious cards are often not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is not knowing how many cards there are.
Then because of inertia, it is often speculated that fighter jets above the J-10 are third-generation fighter jets.
About half an hour later, the J-11C began to take off.
Everyone couldn't help but raise their throats and stared at the J-11C fighter jet nervously.
Although it has been tested many times on land, it is the first time to be tested on the flight deck of a ship at sea.
This time, a total of eight tests will be carried out, the most important of which are take-off and landing tests. If the take-off and landing tests fail, the other tests will be meaningless.
Finally, the take-off test began.
Liu Tao couldn't help but get nervous. After all, if it failed, it would crash on the deck at best, and it would take a lot of time to repair the deck alone. At worst, the entire J-11C fighter would fall into the sea, which often meant that the entire J-11C fighter would be scrapped and the pilot would die!
Theoretically, a fighter jet falling into the sea can be repaired, but because it is soaked in seawater, the cost of repair is even more expensive than rebuilding a plane, so no one will repair a plane that has fallen into the sea.
Salvage costs money, and repairs also cost money. All the costs added up are more expensive than rebuilding a new plane.
Under the attention of everyone, the J-11C fighter did not have any problems, let alone fall into the sea, but took off smoothly.
Everyone on the ship couldn't help cheering and applauding.
At this time in the sky, two J-11As were ready to accompany the J-11C fighter. The whole process would be recorded and become precious data.
After six tests in the air, the J-11C fighter began to return to conduct a flight deck landing experiment.
Liu Tao held a telescope and looked at the J-11C fighter. He couldn't help but get nervous.
Whether we can achieve complete success today depends on this time.
The landing distance of the J-11C fighter on land is very long, after all, it is very fast.
Under normal circumstances, the flight deck is limited and far from meeting the shortest landing distance.
So at this time, an arresting cable system is needed!
This "Test No. 2" aircraft carrier is equipped with an arresting cable system.
As the J-11C fighter successfully landed on the deck, the speed was very fast, and then the arresting cable hooked the lock on the aircraft. The resistance of the arresting cable caused the speed of the J-11C fighter to decrease rapidly, and then finally stopped.
Although it was not as smooth as on land and there were many problems, the J-11C fighter still landed successfully.
The staff applauded and cheered.
This is a great success.
If there are problems, they will be solved step by step later.
Liu Tao's hanging heart also fell.
This means that the J-11C fighter was successful!
The next step is to train more, test more, and test in different sea conditions.
And there is not much time left for the J-11C fighter.
In July this year, the Type 002 medium aircraft carrier will be launched for testing.
Next year, which is the millennium, the Type 002 medium aircraft carrier will be delivered to the navy.
At the latest by next year, the J-11C fighter will be equipped on the Type 002 medium aircraft carrier.
By 2002, the Type 002 aircraft carrier will be able to initially form combat effectiveness!
As the situation becomes more severe, the pressure faced by the Chinese Navy is increasing day by day, and there is an urgent need for aircraft carriers.
The role of the aircraft carrier formation should not be underestimated.
The construction of an aircraft carrier formation to safeguard national interests has become increasingly prominent.
Only the Type 054 frigate and the Type 052 destroyer are not enough to deter jackals and tigers.
But with an aircraft carrier formation, it is different!
No one can ignore an aircraft carrier formation!
An aircraft carrier formation can launch attacks on enemy forces through carrier-based aircraft, and can also attack coastal port cities of enemy forces.
Just like the Type 001 light aircraft carrier, although it is only a light aircraft carrier with a limited number of carrier-based aircraft, a Type 001 light aircraft carrier fleet is enough to destroy a small country, because a small country often means no advanced fighter jets.
To this day, there are still more than 100 countries that do not have an air force!
Most countries do not have third-generation fighter jets!
This is also why Saudi Arabia happily ordered the Type 001 light aircraft carrier, because Saudi Arabia only needs to maintain its interests in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia has never thought about showing its military presence in distant places, let alone going to war with military powers.
Saudi Arabia just wants to make money by relying on oil exports and safeguard its own interests.
Saudi Arabia is not interested in hegemony, or Saudi Arabia is self-aware and knows that it is not that material.
